I just don't get it - surely homes in the U.S. also have measuring scales? Outside of the U.S., we just go for measuring ingredients by weight which completely gets around the issue of settled ingredients or the inconsistency of measuring things by volume. Why can't recipes just use metric measurements (I'll allow the substitution of grammes for weight rather than newtons) and also provide the quick'n'easy and inaccurate cups measures too?
